Everyone Needs Playtime

In our hectic, modern lives, many of us focus so heavily on work and family commitments that we never seem to have time for pure fun. Somewhere between childhood and adulthood, we stopped playing.

When we carve out some leisure time, we’re more likely to zone out in front of the TV or computer than engage in fun, rejuvenating play like we did as children. But play is not just essential for kids; it can be an important source of relaxation and stimulation for adults as well.

There doesn’t need to be any point to the activity beyond having fun and enjoying yourself. By giving yourself permission to play with the joyful abandon of childhood, you can reap oodles of health benefits throughout life.

Ruggiero

The hippogriff, a steed born of a mare and a griffin is a legendary creature which has the front half of an eagle and the hind half of a horse; it is extremely fast and is able to fly around the world and to the Moon.

It is ridden by magicians and the wandering knight Ruggiero, who was raised since infancy by the wizard Atlante, as a warrior. Atlante is fiercely protective of Ruggiero and keeps him hidden in an invisible castle on the top of a mountain.



In my story, Ruggiero escapes from the castle by melding with the hippogriff and flying to safety.

Ruggiero will be added to my mythical creatures of The Elvin Forest, I hope you like him.

P.S. All ordered on 13th June and the hippogriff has been named Fleetfoot.

Two Red Haired Girls

My IH Naias has undergone a sex change and has become Eve (I think she looks much better as a girl) and Pippin (FL LF Pipi) has a new wig.


They are wearing new outfits made from the recently received fabrics. Both quickly made from modified patterns. I really should have paid more attention to the fabric and cut the pant sections separately instead of folding the fabric face to face and cutting the two sides of the pants together.

P.S. The curly wig is a Monique Gold and the other a Luts. The green shoes are from CoolCat and the boots from Luts.

Hershey Bear

Hersyey's not really a bear, but she was certainly behaving like a bear with a sore head, before she went for a walk in the Elvin Forest with her pet bunny,


I think she may have got out the wrong side of the bed this morning, she was really grumpy.
